[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does every school have that or just GDS? I went to school down the street - I hate to be like back in my day! But back in my day, [b]we did just sign out and back in when we left campus - [/b]and if we weren’t there for our first class, that’s how they knew we weren’t on campus. Sometimes kids snuck off campus and got in trouble and that was just life and part of growing up. This technology is not necessary. [/quote]

It's just an electronic way of signing in and out -- serves the same function, but with less paper.[/quote]

Yes, but it's getting phones out of kids backpacks and into their hands at a point when they're going to be away from supervision.  If kids are walking out the door with a phone turned on and in their hands, they are going to be more likely to use that phone, then if they are walking out the door with their phone off and buried in their backpack.  Because even a kid who buys into the idea of not using the phone, is going to notice an alert, and just read that one, and just reply to that one . . .  So, getting rid of this school pass needs to be a priority. Similarly, parents who are smart will have their kid carry a physical credit card or cash, so they aren't tempted to pull out their phones for Apple Pay.  Also, they won't get their kids smart watches.  [/quote]
